Tim Roth will star in the title role of Sky One's drama Skellig, which will be released theatrically following its TV premiere next spring. The production will be directed by Annabel Jankel and based on David Almond's hit tyke novel. Roth will be co-starring with Kelly MacDonald, Bill Milner (Rambow) and John Simm ("Life on Mars"). Principal photography will begin in Cardiff, Wales, on Tuesday.

Plot Concept: Set in the North of England, the film recounts the story of a boy (Milner) who finds the mystical Skellig -- part owl, part angel -- living in the garage of his new home. MacDonald and Simm play the boy's parents.

Id rather see a movie of a blind/deaf and dumb Angelina Jolie getting raped by a gang of midgets in Batman costumes. Is this supposed to be a kids movie or something? I like Roth, but this sounds very different.

It's obvious they are talking about the vulture people.

How can you say that Whiskey, with the small amount of plot concept we got there, I mean the last part you said not the first part, that was funny as hell lol
